COOK ______________________ 2023-2023 ______________________ Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut in No. 3:20-cv-00210-VAB, Judge Victor A. Bolden. ______________________ PER CURIAM. ORDER Jason Goode filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut raising claims under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 relating to his imprisonment. After the district court granted summary judgment against his claims, Mr. Goode filed this appeal. In response to this court’s July 31, 2023, order to show cause, the appellees urge dismissal of this appeal. Mr. Goode “argues for the proper transfer[] of this case to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.” ECF No. 16 at 1. Mr. Goode’s appeal does not fall within the limited authority that Congress granted to this court to review decisions of federal district courts under 28 U.S.C. § 1295(a). That jurisdiction generally extends to cases arising under the patent laws, see 28 U.S.C. § 1295(a)(1); civil actions on review to the district court from the United States Patent and Trademark Office, see § 1295(a)(4)(C); or certain damages claims against the United States “not exceeding $10,000 in amount,” 28 U.S.C. § 1346(a)(2), see 28 U.S.C. § 1295(a)(2); 28 U.S.C. § 1292(c)(1). This is not one of those cases. Though the appellees urge dismissal, we deem it the better course to transfer to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. 28 U.S.C. § 1631. Accordingly, Case: 23-2023 GOODE Document: 20 Page: 3 Filed: 10/18/2023 v. COOK 3 IT IS ORDERED THAT: The appeal and all its filings are transferred to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1631. FOR THE COURT October 18, 2023 Date /s/ Jarrett B. Perlow Jarrett B. Perlow Clerk of Court
